The numbers of Carlos Alcaraz’s (almost) perfect range

Date:

Carlos Alcaraz Its non-negotiable purpose is to “enjoy the track”, to keep the smile intact. He considers these to be factors that are part of his nature, helping him tackle the most tangible goals with bigger options, such as currently winning the Indian Wells ATP Masters 1000 title and regaining world no. one. Two things together.

And the game of the Murcian, 19 years old and number 2, invites optimism. He revealed his good form on clay in Buenos Aires, which he won, and Rio de Janeiro, where he lost the final when he was injured against Cameron Norrie. A hamstring strain in his right leg caused him to miss Acapulco and jeopardized his preparations for Indian Wells, his third tournament of the season, the first on a hard court.

This physical setback did not stop the tennis player from El Palmar, who showed himself in his debut, second round match, harassing the Australian. Thanasi Kokkinakis, which he sentenced to double 6-3 in an hour and a quarter of play.

“I had a lot of fun, I played at a great level, I surprised myself”, he sentence Carlos Alcaraz.

His first set was (almost) perfect. Rest assured, even from his own request and that of his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, one and the other polished off some dreamy half-hour songs.

Especially in the serve. In five turns of delivery, Alcaraz ruled four blanks. He won 20 of 21 service points, the first 15 in a row. Putting up 57% of the first, he added 11 of 12 points with both and 9 of 9 in the second. 95% efficiency. Maximum speed 213 km/h., an average with a first serve of 193 km/h. It will end without knowing a ‘break’ ball against all meetings.

He hit 10 winners and made just 3 unforced errors in that opening set. He ate the Australian ‘gunboat’, 26 years old and nº 94. He won 38% of the rest, 10 of 26, defining the breaking ball of three. The other two were separate serve missiles from Kokkinakis, who on his first serve signed an average speed of 205 km/h.

Carlos Alcaraz kept the bar high in the second set, although feeling dominant, he dared to look for the impossible at one point and was not quite perfect in his approach or his development. He didn’t need to, he didn’t let go of the reins.

Alcaraz, serve at 214 km / hour

He finished the day with a total of 21 winners and 9 unforced errors. On serve he won 37 out of 44 points. come to serve 214km/h. The game is varied and deadly at the same time. Fired that he had an answer at every crucial moment, he tried to avoid any hint of trouble or reaction from his opponent, whom he dominated 61 to 42 in points won. 59% against 41%.

The percentage may be higher in favor of the Spaniard, but he wants to take risks even at the cost of losing points along the way. He can do it all in one inspired day.

This Monday, third round, against the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor, 26 years old and world number 36. The one from El Palmar won Wimbledon 2022 by 6-4, 7-6 and 6-3. In 2021, distribution of victories in the rounds of the previous stages: he won against Charly in Estoril, 6-1 and 6-3, he lost indoors in Montpellier 4-6, 6-3 and 6-1.
